Linux distro?

[dagibbs]

I'm sure somebody out there has an opinion... a couple of you said I should install Linux on my new machine. So, I'm going to do so. (Dual boot, though, with Windows -- I may even reserve some room and throw QNX on there as well. Or, maybe not.)

So, which Linux distro should I install? I'm looking for ease of install and ease of use. I can wield vi, though, if I need to.

As someone who has been using Linux since kernel v0.12...I would recommend Ubuntu...although if you want a more "Windoze" looking interface, you can use a variant called Kubutu, which uses the KDE desktop rather than the Gnome Desktop. KDE is very much like the standard Windows interface.

If you really want a pretty interface, another Ubuntu variant called Geubuntu uses the Enlightenment Desktop, which has the stated aim of bringing the look and feel of Bladerunner to the Linux desktop....but Geubuntu is in the early stages, so it has a few glitches. :-(

If you need any Linux help, just ask.
